Chapter 133: Is the Northern Desert Turks your end?
"Father, please listen to my explanation."
Li Chengqian said helplessly: "This is not about playing with things to lose one's ambition."
"As the saying goes, a strong young man will make a country strong, and a young man's wisdom will make a country wise."
"My son is also practicing his strategy!"
"Exercise strategy?"
Li Shimin glanced at the billiard table, and the sneer on his face became even brighter.
"If these things can help us practice strategy, wouldn't we all be experts in marching and fighting in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Look, you still don't believe it."
Li Chengqian carried the cue around the pool table.
"The chessboard can be compared with the killing on the battlefield, so why can't this table tennis be used?"
"You see, although these are just stone balls, you have to use the white stone balls to hit other stone balls and enter the net to count."
"And if you look closely, these stone balls are different. Some are solid and some are hollow."
"The hollow one represents black, the solid one represents white."
"The rule is that White may not attack Black, and Black may not attack White."
Li Chengqian became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and faced Li Shimin and said: "When Erchen and Cheng Hualiang are fighting, Erchen has to hit his own ball and block Cheng Hualiang's ball at the same time."
"In this case, isn't it just a battle of wits and courage between the two armies?"
"As long as I can use this table freely, my ability to adapt to changing circumstances and my observation skills will naturally be greatly improved in the future."
After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian did not forget to add: "Moreover, Father, think about it, you can't beat me in terms of hand-to-hand talks. How many people in Chang'an City can play chess with me?"
This is true.
But Li Shimin felt offended.
What does this guy mean?
Saying in front of so many people that you can't beat him at chess?
Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said, "Your kid's sophistry is successful."
"But I didn't come here today to talk to you about this."
"I have something to ask you, come with me."
After saying this, he walked directly towards the main house.
And when he was about to enter the main house At that moment, a little maid ran out carelessly and ran directly into his arms.
The little girl looked up at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin looked down at the little girl.
The rest of the people have been turned to stone.
The first person to react was Li Chengqian, who angrily shouted: "Don't you have eyes?"
"This is my father, why don't you kneel down and apologize?"
"That's all."
Li Shimin waved his hand indiscriminately: "She is still young, let's forget it this time, it won't be the same next time."
Li Chengqian quickly showed a complimenting smile: "Yes, yes, my father is kind and understands justice."
Immediately afterwards, he quickly winked at the reckless Wuyou and told her to run away.
Wuyou walked away with his big eyes full of grievance.
Obviously, she didn't know that the person in front of her was Li Shimin.
All she knew was that Li Chengqian had just yelled at her.
Li Chengqian was helpless about this.
This girl is so stupid...
He bumped into the emperor and didn't apologize quickly, but he still dared to show off to himself, the one who came to the rescue.
After entering the main room, Li Shimin sat directly on the couch.
"Let me ask you, did you think carefully about the northern people's migration to the south when you raised it in court today?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows.
That’s what I came to ask about.
Li Chengqian nodded without thinking, "Of course."
Seeing this, Li Shimin asked again: "Have you ever thought about the disadvantages and loopholes in this?"
"ah?"
"Loopholes? Are there any?"
Li Chengqian continued to act stupid.
But his character had long been figured out by Li Shimin.
Seeing him like this now, I knew that he must be hiding something.
Li Shimin rolled his eyes: "Okay, don't pretend to be like me, Ru Ruo
You can come up with a watertight plan."
"I promise that you won't have to attend court for half a month."
"Really!"
Li Chengqian grinned happily.
"Father, a gentleman's words are hard to follow, so you can't go back on your word."
Hearing this, Li Shimin sneered.
"Even if I regret it, what can you do to me?"
"If you don't tell me, believe it or not, I will cancel your five-day absence from court."
"Farewell, Father."
"I said it's not okay yet."
Li Chengqian's face was full of bitterness.
"The flaw in my father's words is nothing more than the belief that if the old Turkic people come to our territory of the Tang Dynasty, they will conflict with the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"At that time, there will be the old Turkic people on one side and the people of the Tang Dynasty on the other. It will be difficult for my father to be caught in the middle."
"That's right, Father?"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's exactly it."
"Actually, I think my father thinks too much."
Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Li Shimin with a smile.
Li Shimin was full of suspicion and even more puzzled.
He didn't understand what Li Chengqian meant by what he said.
Li Chengqian simply explained: "Actually, no matter what my father does, he will eventually be dissatisfied."
"A bowl of water is never truly level, and there will always be differences."
"If you elevate the old Turkic people even a little bit, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be dissatisfied."
"If you suppress the old Turkic people for the sake of the Tang people, the old Turkic people will be dissatisfied."
"Instead of doing this, why should we be equal?"
After hearing these words, Li Shimin felt even more confused.
He seemed to understand what Li Chengqian meant, but he didn't seem to understand.
Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Li Chengqian knew that he had understood most of it.
So, he continued: "Why can't the Tang people be superior to others?"
"The Turks are the old people of the Turks. Even if they entered the Tang Dynasty, they would still be the people of the Later Tang Dynasty."
< br> "Why should we let them be on an equal footing with the Tang people?"
Hearing this, Chang Sun Wuji frowned and said, "Wouldn't this force the old Turkic people to rebel?"
"They must also have that strength."
Li Chengqian rarely showed his arrogant side: "The Tang Dynasty is the winner, and the winner should be treated like a winner."
"Turks are losers, and losers naturally have to fall into the position of losers."
"But this doesn't solve the actual problem."
Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Chengqian.
"My uncle has heard everything you said today."
"Uncle doesn't believe you only thought of such simple things."
"Uncle still understands me."
While speaking, Li Chengqian also glanced at Li Shimin.
Upon seeing this, Li Shimin wanted to have a fit on the spot.
Does this guy need a shot?
How about showing affection to others in front of my old father?
{Received resentment value +99 from Li Shimin...}
Hearing the system prompt, Li Chengqian also reacted.
He smiled awkwardly: "Before I tell you the solution, I want to ask my father a question."
"you say."
Li Shimin said angrily.
He wanted to hear what Li Chengqian would ask him.
Li Chengqian was rarely serious and raised his head to look at Li Shimin.
"My son, I would like to ask my father, is the Northern Desert Turks your end?"
"In other words, is the Northern Desert Turks my father's last battle?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't expect Li Chengqian to ask such a question.
As we all know, Li Shimin was a very aggressive emperor.
Since he came to power, or in other words since he raised his army in Jinyang, he has never given up on expanding outwards.
The Northern Desert Turks were just the beginning for him.
